Room at Movenpick Hotel. Its so spacy and its pinkish! yays! The internet goes on and off, so its quite annoying at times.
Headed to Dubai Mall. Its a taxi ride away from the hotel and costs around 10SGD.
I was aweed by the HUGE aquarium at the mall, and there's people actually diving inside! Everyone was crowding around the aquarium and being fascinated by it!
Thats the ceiling if you raise your head up! Looks like twinkling little stars.
Thats the pizza hut in arabic food. The food in Dubai doesnt look appetizing, and worst still, it doesnt come cheap. I ended up eating at a chinese shop and it looked much nicer than the local food as much as I would wanna try it.
The Gold Souk in the Dubai Mall. Aparently, what I read about it from the net described it to be so amazing, selling gold and all sorta treasures, but when I stepped into it, there's only one stall, those bugis push cart shop selling some accessories. Quite a dissapointment and discrepency from what was being described.
But the architecture inside was worth appreciating.
The next day, headed to Palm Jumeirah. As they said, it like a palm shaped island, but when I was there there's barely nothing interesting. Just a beach and some chairs and appartments, totally snooked. Heard that we could only see the palm shaped of the island if we're across the island atop some high level buildings. Boring much.
The fake infinity pool. hahah
Headed to Dubai Mall again, and here's a HELLO KITTY SHOP in arabic words. I'm amused by how big brands appear in arabic words. Just feels a lil funny.
I've never imagined that buildings here in Dubai would be so high class and futuristic looking! Totally amazed!
The people here are definitely rich.. wowww
Its really hard trying to take a pic with the building.
Check out this Limousine. Wonder who this rich oil-digger man is. I should have waited outside the limo and try to know this billionaire!
Then the 4 wheel drive brings us through a roller coaster ride around the sand dunes, and the view was just breath-taking! Could never imagine that I actually am in a desert!! But when you're in a country with a desert, better grab the chance to visit it!
Thats the vehicles that drives the tourists for the desert tour. The operating company must be earning lots.
Wouldn't mind paying more for the safety cos I've heard of stories that people get kidnapped and thrown to the desert by those taxi uncles. Thats damn scary, imagine being alone in a foreign land in a desert not knowing how to get out of the place? No food, no water, how to survive?!
Its sunset and its beautiful!!
Dinner time. See that angmoh guy with the turban on his head at the back? He's trying to sell to tourists the sand pictured bottle. What a money making scheme. Its kinda unique, but a lil useless lying around in the homes.
The first performance was the belly dancing show, and all the tico indian men started gathering right at the front of the stage to watch the belly girl.
Next, was a performance of this guy swirling his big skirt around, then whipping it up and continued tossing it around and going around the tables, getting everyone excited and wanting to take a picture with him. LOL
Supermarket day. Thats damn a lot of oil
The camel meat on sale! yeeeeks, how grosss, eating camel meat
Ordered in Lunch from Silver Eagle Restaurant. Aparently, its highly recommended by alot, but..... the food isn't that great.
Don't really like the pilaf rice, jusy not to my appetite. The chicken is a lil tad salty, and the curry chicken is too spicy. Should just stick to asian food/cup noodles.
Movenpick icecream in movenpick hotel. The manager was very nice! He let us test the flavours generously before getting it. Could get full from just the tastings.
